Printing More Articles Today

I’ve been printing out all my myLot articles and have plans to publish them all in a book. So I came across a couple things that I had forgotten about. We used to do a lot of “challenges” on myLot and also when I was on another site, but I don’t see many challenges anymore. I came across this one today that I really liked. Here is the challenge: Write a story in which each sentence will begin with a different letter of the alphabet, beginning with the letter A and moving on to B, C, D and so on. I wrote a VERY interesting story at the time. I just re-read it and was pleased with the results. Of course, I can’t repeat it here now, or I would be accused of plagiarism. But, I’d like to put the challenge out there for you. And I’m going to attempt to write ANOTHER STORY, using this method, so you can get the idea of how to do it. About this time of the day, I get a little tired and want to take a nap. By the time I get settled with my warm blanket though, the telephone always rings. Could it be one of my children calling, I wonder. Don’t they know by now, that I usually lie down at this time of the day? Every day is different, of course, so maybe they took a chance. Frankly, I always appreciate my children checking on me or including me in their plans. Growing older, I tend to forget about going out and about much. Hopefully, it will be something pleasant they want to tell me. I don’t like getting bad news. Just a minute, I’m getting up and answering the phone. Kids can be such a bother sometimes, but I love them. Let me get my glasses on so I can see who is calling. Must be important. The phone keeps on ringing. Now, let me see who this is, calling me when it’s naptime. Oh, now, who do I know in California? Pick up the phone and say, “hello.” Quickly, I realize it’s a telemarketer. Dang! Really? Do I look like I need help with my college loan? Since when do I owe the IRS anything? Taxes? I don't owe any taxes. They are a thing of the past to me. Usually, I just hang up but this is so irritating. Valuable time is wasted. What do I need with a car warranty? I don’t own a car. X-Rays? I haven’t had an X-ray in years. Zambia, I don’t know anyone in Zambia. Good-bye! Try it! It's really fun.
